EEP vs TPAPN?

[ConfusedWhatToDoRN]

I recently failed a drug test that I had to take at my former employer. I didn’t scan a morphine that was given and was drug tested. I failed the drug screen and tested positive for opiates. I was told not only am I fired but I will also be reported to the board of nursing. I’ve read a lot of posts in here, but I’m curious if anyone has any experience on doing EEP instead of TPAPN? From what I’ve read, nurses who are deemed low-level risk for chemical dependency and who have no prior incidents of drug related problems, EEP is an option instead of going through TPAPN. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this? As of right now I feel like my career is over and I’ll jever be the nurse I once was. I made a horrible mistake after a horrific shift where I care for a nurse who I previously worked with who was in bad shape. I’ve never been accused of diversion before... I feel helpless and like my life is over.... I don’t know what I should do or where to turn... I also have no idea how I’m going to pay for all of the treatment necessary for TPAPN when I don’t have a job and am not allowed to work.... please help ?

Did you end up doing EEP? I need help from someone familiar with the program. There's a lot of red flags that scare me and I'm afraid I'm walking into a trap. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
